The other point, mostly neglected, is that the leader themselves need to be insured and have liability cover. Their insurer will only cover claims if the leader is operating inside the remit of their qualification. This is the root of the problem in the client insurance, the client's insurer wants to claim on the liability cover of the leader's insurance and that's why this language is in client insurance. Ergo, an unqualified leader is an uninsured one as well and it's more common in the mountains than you'd think.

So, how is the paying client supposed to ensure that leaders are insured...and with someone who their Insurer would consider "acceptable" in the event of a prang?
We put a lot of trust in the skill of Instructors/Guides. We take a lot on trust, I have never asked to see an Instructor's Insurance if they were taking me off piste.

Admin, I'm so relieved that you've steered my thinking back onto skiing :shock:

Last week of Feb?

March flight prices look a bit high. Is there a railway station or coach service we could catch from the airport? Which airport to choose, Salzburg or Innsbruck?

Jan I Stenmark, you local knowledge needed please?

If it's not listed, then there is no cover. Remember there are no "just a little bit" areas with insurance.

pressumed so. darn it, and there was me all ready to jump off the edge of a cliff :twisted:

:lol:
If there is no listing, or definition provided, it does mean that if you stopped just off the edge of a marked slope to adjust your boots/blow your nose/your choice.......you are off piste :mrgreen:

Don't you just love Insurance Loss Adjusters :lol:

Tino's been verrry quiet today....

Perhaps hangover's are catching )

Would the latter part of the season be a better bet for everyone?

If you have not yet paid for it, go and find your own, you will pay less and get better cover!
